Had it on the seats of my 06 TBSS and it hates cleaners. Best method I've been able to devise is a spray bottle with some woolite, mist onto a microfiber towel and blot at any dirt.
Unfortunately, you can't help it since ou grab the door handle everytime you enter and leave the car (always when leaving)... and the door handle has that suede/Alcantara on it!

I think i'll try that 3M fabric guard you spray on since it appears there is very little you can do to clean it after it gets dirty. I suppose it's more of a preventative method rather than corrective one.

I've gotten into the habit of pulling the door lever and pushing out on the plastic part at the bottom of the door. It's kind of stupid, but better than wearing on the (badly placed) material around the handle. Pulling the door shut is easy to do without touching the fabric. I feel like a maniac telling any passengers how they need to get in and out, but hey....I want to keep this ride as nice as possible.
